This is how long we, Arsenal fans are waiting for the trophy. Finally after all these years we can lift up a trophy. I believe we can do it, but it won't be that easy as it looks like, anything can happen in the final.
Your predictions?
I go for 2:1 win, Giroud & Ozil to score.

I am neutral for all the teams. I don't have any hate for any team.

@EmreCan: Whatever, but next time don't make a comment like that in this sort of thread. It didn't seem like a joke at all.

But he didn't said anything against Chelsea, I see what he mean. There wasn't a single word about Chelsea bro :)

@V, it wasn't that you were cocky. I meant that what you were criticizing is done on daily basis by Chelsea fans and other fans as well but it's specifically overdone by Chelsea fans.

About Mou losing his class. It's undeniable that he did. Look at what he said to Eto. Eto is a player that liked Mou quite a lot before this season. It's just too obvious you HAVE to see it.

Yeah, I didn't say that about Chelsea.
@Vendetta If you wanna know my opinion. I think, Mourinho is a great manager but I don't like his personality. He thinks he is the boss. Why would you say "specialist in failure" for a manager in your own league. Maybe Wenger didn't win a trophy for 8 years but He doesn't have the right to say that.

@EmreCan: First of all, all managers think they are the boss of the squad, because they are the boss. Do you hate Pep Guardiola or Sir Alex Ferguson? Because they all act like they're the boss as well.

Second, insulting the manager is like insulting the club. The manager is the center of the club. United fans wouldn't have liked it if we insulted Ferguson because Ferguson is United.

Lastly, Mourinho called a Wenger a specialist in failure because Wenger started the fight by saying Mourinho is driven only by failure. Mourinho had every right to reply. People ignore how Wenger was the one who started that whole fight and instead focus on Mourinho's insult (a reply to Wenger's insult). You know why? Because it's easier to pick on Mourinho.

When did Wenger say that?

@zakzook: I hope you didn't really think Mourinho meant what he said when he called Eto'o and old geezer now? He was joking. Rumors are that Eto'o did not take it as a joke, but my point is Mourinho was never serious about that comment. He is great friends with Eto'o and a comment like that - which was never meant to be taken seriously - will not break that friendship. You're over exaggerating, @Zak. I'm sure you already know that there are players that would run through brick walls for Mourinho. Mourinho has not lost any of his class.

Don't forget it's Mourinho who called Wenger "the voyeur" years ago.

From BBC: The Chelsea boss was responding to the Arsenal manager's claim that other Premier League bosses are playing down their title chances because they "fear to fail".

Mourinho's reply:

Mourinho said: "If he is right and I am afraid of failure it is because I didn't fail many times. Eight years without silverware, that's failure."

"He's a specialist in failure," continued Mourinho. "If I do that in Chelsea, eight years, I leave and don't come back."

He had every right to reply to Wenger, and in fact, the fingers should be pointed at Wenger. But for some reason, people want to blame Mourinho for everything.

@fabryi: And that was also because Wenger wouldn't stop talking about Chelsea, and Mourinho eventually got annoyed by all his comments about Chelsea. Mourinho had never insulted Wenger before that. In fact, Mourinho rarely insults a manager first. It's always the other manager that insults Mourinho first and Mourinho replies. The only thing people look at though is Mourinho's replies.

Mourinho is becoming increasingly annoyed at comments from the Frenchman in the media about his Blues team.

"I think he is one of these people who is a voyeur," said the Portuguese coach. "He likes to watch other people.

"There are some guys who, when they are at home, have a big telescope to see what happens in other families. He speaks, speaks, speaks about Chelsea."

Mourinho was infuriated by Wenger's decision to comment about Chelsea's 1-1 draw at Everton last Sunday and their Carling Cup loss to Charlton on penalties in midweek.

Wenger, who is regularly asked about Chelsea in his pre-match briefings, was widely reported to have said that the Premiership champions would have lost "the big belief" after those setbacks, while he in fact said "a little bit of the belief has gone".

He also claimed it brought "a little hope" for those hoping to overhaul the Stamford Bridge outfit at the top of the table after their sensational start to the season.

But following the weekend's action, Chelsea have extended their Premiership lead over seventh-placed Arsenal to 14 points.

"It bothers me because the guy is speaking all the time. We never speak about them," Mourinho added.

*"*Wenger, who is regularly asked about Chelsea" He was asked, he replied.
Wenger never said he didn't failed, but this season he didn't.

Media just make it bigger and bigger, no wonder someone explode, no need to make war from this.

If it was a joke, it was not funny one bit. If Rafa had said such a thing, everyone would be all over him...

First of all , I would like to congratulate fellow London club with FA cup victory. I believe it means a lot for the club to end the draught of throphyless years and set the winning mentality for the young players who has never won a trophy or FA trophy .

Second of all , Just because someone asks you a question does not mean you should start speaking gibberish crap about other club or manager of the other club .

Third of all , I never cared for Rafa nor I cared when he was in charge. I was neutral to his appointment because Rafa was the c*nt that does not know how to watch his mouth about other clubs and Eto was the same c*nt ( but I do not forget) . So if Eto leaves , I honestly do not give a f8ck and will be happy to see him go . ( and yes the fcker is old and if those comments fired him up than why does it take silly insult which he took seriously to make him play his potential ? )

When Rafa took the charge of Chelsea , we were still in the race for EPL , FA , Capital One Cup and FIFA club world Cup . In matter of weeks , we all know what happened in the end .

If club magnitude of Chelsea ( who also spent the great deal of money ) takes on Europa League ( It is not prestigious lets be honest ) seriously , they should win it . It is unacceptable not to win it . Especially , a improved squad that just won Champions League in previous year . So, his achievement was not great and I am just as thankful to him for it as I for the players . It was equal contribution. If his season was great , he would have stayed , but he did not .

Fourth , This season , I am very pleased with Mourinho's work and I confident next season we will be stronger . We hold our own against all the top dogs of EPL and our immaturity against "small " clubs cost us titles . We reached the semi final of Champions League and lost to a La Liga champions and maybe they will be crowned CL champions .

Also ( It should not be your business ) but No need to point a finger at Mourinho , when the players are the ones who are running on the field ! If they have quality than they should perform ! They are the ones getting paid 100k a week to kick the ball around .

Ofcourse there are times when manager should take the full blame . I was very critical of Mourinho , IN a PSG first leg match, because it was his tactical errors that cost us a draw or (who knows even a victory ) . What should have been hard home fixture was made double harder . If you are not pleased with Mourinho or Chelsea this season than good but please, season is over so stop talking about us ! I guess we are just hard to forget , are not we ?

I don't care what people say, wenger is one of the most upright managers in Europe's top clubs, he is an educated and sophisticated man. I'm glad he represents our club.

Its amazing how we got two separate threads about Arsenal's FA Cup victory and in both threads with different users commentating, somehow, a discussion involving other club's success this season came up... Cant people just celebrate their own success without having to discuss irrelevant stuff?

I would be pissed If my club won something and the thread ended up having this kind of arguing about non related other club's season.

Congratulations Arsenal, well deserved... Maybe for almost 9 years of the trophy drought an FA cup isnt that big of a deal but this could be the motivation they needed, the start of an amazing next season for Arsenal.

Agree with Tuanis.
I didn't think my comment was going to be a big deal about that. I was joking, if I knew this was going to happen, I wouldn't say a word.
Sorry about the other thread. I forgot this one.

Not this again. Why does every thread involving either Chelsea or Arsenal always devolve into a dick waving contest between the two.
